Hi everyone!
We’ll be screening Arashi no Yoru Ni (あらしのよるに in Japanese; On a Stormy Night in English) on 3rd February. An animated movie based on Yūichi Kimura’s series of light novels, Arashi no Yoru Ni is about the friendship between a goat and a wolf. Despite being naturally prey and predator, fate brings them together one stormy night and they develop a friendship. They both face disapproval when their respective groups find out about this. However, instead of betraying each other, the pair set out together to find an “emerald forest”, where they would be free from persecution for their friendship.

Hi all!
We’ll be screening Brave Story (ブレイブ・ストーリー in Japanese) on 30th December! Originally a novel by Miyuki Miyabe, its animated film adaptation is directed by Koichi Chigira, and animated by GONZO.
About Brave Story:
Wataru, the main character, is a 10 year old 5th grade elementary school student . His grades are so-so and he is a meek and unassertive boy who is easily manipulated by girls. One day his father runs off with a mistress, leaving Wataru and his mother behind. In shock, his mother suffers an accident and is near death. Brokenhearted, Wataru goes inside a neighborhood building that is reputedly haunted. The building actually is the entrance to a delusional world called Vision, in which Wataru must master magic techniques and collect hidden treasures to meet a goddess, who, it is believed, can make wishes come true. Together with new friends he meets there, Wataru’s magnificent journey through Vision begins. Adventure, friendship, growing up, family ties, love and magic: this fantasy includes everything viewers expect and can be enjoyed by a wide range of audiences.
